2020 Annual Conference Invitation
Greetings Florida Collegiate Honors Council Members and Friends,
On behalf of the Florida Collegiate Honors Council and the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University, I am pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for the 29th Annual Florida Collegiate Honors Council Conference to be held February 7-9, 2020 in Jupiter, FL.
This year’s conference theme is SoFloMind: Reclaiming Hope and Change. Florida, and South Florida in particular, is often at the forefront of issues affecting the nation and the world. Global issues like climate change hit our region particularly hard and South Floridians have to find ways to adapt without becoming overwhelmed. This year’s theme invites reflection on approaches for empowering, not just Floridians, but the global community to work through the challenges we face and respond productively in this time of uncertainty. Projections of the future are often dire and it can be easy to lose hope for a better tomorrow. Through collaboration and sharing of research, the Florida Collegiate Honors Council’s annual conference is a way to reclaim that hope and envision pathways for meaningful change. We look forward to sharing our unique experience and point of view—our SoFloMind—with you.
The Conference Hotel is the Embassy Suites Palm Beach Gardens(4350 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410. Phone number: 561-622-1000). The conference room rate is $169.00 per night, which includes complimentary breakfast for up to 4 people per room and WiFi. To make a reservation, guests may call the front desk at 561-622-1000 or Reservations at 1-888-488-3518 and reference the Florida Collegiate Honors Council block. The deadline to make reservations is January 8, 2020. Guests may receive the room rate for up to two days before and after the conference.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the conference, please contact Rachel Luria at rluria@fau.edu. We are looking forward to seeing you in the Palm Beaches in February. We will send updates and additional information about conference activities as it draws closer.
Sincerely,
Rachel Luria
